Where to play
600 E Meadow Dr, Palo Alto, CA 94303
Directions ↗
15 outdoor hard courts
Hours: 6am–10pm daily
Free
All 15 courts have dedicated permanent lines and nets, open 6am–10pm daily. Six of the fifteen have lights for night play. Drop-in and free — when courts are full, stack two or four paddles by the net and rotate in.
- Mitchell Park is home base for the Palo Alto Pickleball Club, a 750-member nonprofit that organizes regular play and events.
- The paddle-stack rotation is the local etiquette — place your paddles at the net in the order you arrived.
- Because nearly all Peninsula demand funnels into one park, expect it busy most evenings and weekend mornings.
